This Editorial Policy outlines our standards and procedures for ensuring the accuracy, accountability, and transparency of BGECrypto’s content. Our mission is to provide insightful, trustworthy, and up-to-date information about the blockchain industry.
Editorial Independence
At BGECrypto, we uphold the standards of journalism integrity and editorial independence. Our content is created free from external influence, and we do not accept any form of payment or incentives from third parties that could influence the topics or perspectives we cover. Our editors and contributors are committed to objective and unbiased reporting.
Guiding Principles
We strictly prohibit the acceptance of money or any item of monetary value in exchange for news coverage or favourable treatment in our reporting. This ensures our content remains unbiased and trustworthy.
We do not provide preferential treatment to sources or contacts based on their hospitality or gifts. Interactions with sources are conducted with professionalism and integrity.
Contributors at BGECrypto must consult with the editor-in-chief before accepting any non-monetary gifts such as travel, accommodation, or entertainment. This allows us to assess the appropriateness of the gift and, where necessary, contribute towards the costs to avoid conflicts of interest.
When meeting or dining with contacts, our contributors are encouraged to pay their own way to prevent any obligations or perceived bias.
Our employees are instructed not to receive gifts or promotional materials at their personal addresses. Items lent for review purposes, such as electronics or vehicles, are to be returned promptly after evaluation.
BGECrypto’s voice is not for sale. We do not accept payments to promote other organisations’ projects or agendas. Opinions expressed in op-eds are solely those of the contributors and do not reflect the endorsement of BGECrypto.
Content Integrity
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity in every piece of content we publish. Our content is created by experienced writers and experts in the blockchain industry. We ensure that all information provided is fact-checked, unbiased, and up-to-date, based on the most current data and industry developments.
Upholding Integrity
At BGECrypto, we are committed to maintaining the trust of our readers by adhering to these principles. Our editorial decisions are made without external pressures, ensuring our coverage is not only informative but also aligned with the ethical standards of reputable journalism.
Sources and Transparency
We rely on credible sources such as established financial publications, expert interviews, peer-reviewed journals, and direct data from relevant financial, technological and crypto companies. Sources are always clearly cited to maintain transparency. Our goal is to provide content that educates our readers with clear, evidence-based information.
Corrections Policy
At BGECrypto, we hold accuracy and transparency in the highest regard. Recognising that mistakes can occur despite our best efforts, this policy is to address errors with prompt and transparent corrections.
Commitments
When errors occur in our content, whether they are in articles or data representations, we commit to correcting them as quickly as possible. There is no time limit on corrections; mistakes identified weeks or even months later will still be amended.
Notification
Once a factual error is identified and corrected, a note will be added to the end of the article or data table explaining the nature of the error, the correction made, and the date of the correction. This note is to ensure our readers are fully informed of any changes that affect the accuracy of information we have published.
Updates and Clarifications
Articles may also require updates with new information or clarifications of existing content. When such updates are necessary, we will inform our readers with a note at the end of the article. This note will specify what was changed and when. If substantial new information comes to light that changes the story significantly, this too will be clearly indicated to our readers.
Digital and Social Media
All corrections made on our website will be mirrored in content distributed on social media platforms to ensure consistency and accuracy across all our channels.
Right of Reply
We will strive to contact individuals and companies mentioned in our stories for comment before publication. If this is not possible, we offer a right of reply. While we aim to include all relevant voices, the final decision on content publication rests with our Editor-in-Chief.
Exceptional Circumstances
In rare cases where published material may need to be removed, we will provide an explanation to our readers about why this action was necessary.
Handling Complaints
We take all complaints seriously and respond as swiftly as possible. Readers are encouraged to report any factual errors, concerns, or complaints by contacting our editor at editor@bgecrypto.io. Please include a link to the content in question and explain the issue.
Integrity in Reporting
We encourage our readers to alert us to any factual inaccuracies. Upon receiving such alerts, our editorial team will review and rectify the error swiftly. Corrections will be noted clearly in the content and, where applicable, on associated social media posts.
At BGECrypto, we do not give space to misinformation, conspiracy theories, or content that promotes hatred or violence. Ensuring the accuracy of our reporting and maintaining the trust of our readers are paramount.
Conflicts of Interest
Our writers, contributors, and editors are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest, including investments or affiliations with cryptocurrency companies or other entities within the blockchain industry. This policy ensures that our content is free from bias and that our editorial decisions are made independently.
User Engagement
We encourage our readers to engage with our content through comments and social media. While we welcome diverse opinions and lively debate, we expect interactions to be respectful and constructive. All user comments are moderated to prevent spam, offensive language, or other content that does not meet our community standards.
Review and Approval Process
All content published on BGECrypto goes through a review process, including an editorial review to ensure adherence to our standards. The editorial team reserves the right to make final decisions regarding the publication of all content on our site.
Updates to Our Policy
This editorial policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our operational procedures or in response to evolving industry standards. We will provide notifications of significant changes to ensure transparency with our audience.
